Betreff: [Wikitech-l] Gerrit downtime this Monday!

Hi,

So the time is upon us to finally upgrade Gerrit. I thank everyone in advance 
for all of your patience and good work testing things out for us. The plan is 
outlined in detail on Phabricator[0], but I'll give everyone the short version 
here.

The downtime will be on Monday, July 25th from 01:00 to 04:00 UTC; that's 
Sunday night for those of us who are US-based. This time was picked based 
because it's one of our lowest traffic times on Gerrit. There's never a *good* 
time to bring it down, it's always being used, but this looks like it'll impact 
the fewest number of users. I do not anticipate the process actually taking the 
full 3 hours, but I'm giving us a lot of extra time just in case.

Jaime will be on hand to assist with a final DB snapshot of the old version and 
possible rollback, and Daniel Z. is going to assist me with the puppet work. 
Most of this is already prepared so the amount of "change" to do the swap has 
been kept to a minimum.

Gerrit is a critical service to all developers, so the plan includes a generous 
provision to roll back if things are not operating properly--I'd rather us be 
on the old version that works on a Monday morning than be stuck broken going 
into the work week.

I'll be sure to send a last minute reminder Sunday night prior to taking 
services offline.

Thanks again!

-Chad
